What?
Halsey froze for a moment stunned
Shaun had come to play golf because of her
At a time when Lincoln Enterprise was on the brink of collapse its funding running dangerously low he stood by her side
Her heart swelled with gratitude Her clear shimmering eyes glistened as she looked at Shaun Thankyou
Shemeantitsincerely.
Shaun met her gaze a faints mile tugging a this lips No problem
The dinner ended on a warm and pleasant note William left first and Halsey and Shaun stepped out of the restaurant together
HalseylookedatShaun.”Ireallycan’tthankyouenoughthistime.Ifitweren’tforyou,Mr.Paynewouldhavedefinitelycuttieswith LincolnEnterprise.”
Shaun shook his head I m glad to help Consider it a thank you for helping raise Maddy all these years
Mentioning Madeline brought a proud glow to Halsey s face You know she s done amazing these past three years Honestly I didn t do much for her she did it all by herself She just got into a research institute so she only comes home once every two weeks When she s back I ll make sure you two reconnect

Halsey smiled brightly I have tons of photos of Maddy from the past three years I ll bring them for you someday so you can see how much she s grown
Before she could finish Shaun reached out and pulled her into a tight embrace
Halseyfroze.
Shaun held her close his voice low and earnest Halsey thankyou
Halsey smirked That thank you didn t sound very sincere
Shaun loosened his hold Then how do you want me to thankyou
He cupped her face gently and pressed a deep kiss to her lips
Halsey s legs went weak again as the same helpless melting feelings he had felt earlier in the hotel bathroom swept over her She wrapped her arms tightly around Shaun s neck to keep herself from sliding down
Shaun s eyes darkened Do you have togo back tonight
Caught in his kiss Halsey was dizzy with desire What
Shaun whispered If your parents are okay with it come to my place tonight

Shaun chuckled softly Why do you
